Configure OAuth 2.0 Authentication for REST

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.SetAuthOAuth2, which associates an OAuth2 provider containing a valid access token so Chilkat adds the bearer token to the Authorization header.

require 'chilkat'

success = false

rest = Chilkat::CkRest.new()
bTls = true
bAutoReconnect = true
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success == false)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  Configure OAuth 2.0 bearer-token authentication.  The provider must contain a valid access token.
oauth2 = Chilkat::CkOAuth2.new()
#  Normally you would not hard-code secrets in source.  You should instead obtain them from an
#  interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
oauth2.put_AccessToken("OAUTH2_ACCESS_TOKEN")

#  Associate the provider so Chilkat adds the bearer token to the Authorization header.
success = rest.SetAuthOAuth2(oauth2)
if (success == false)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

responseText = rest.fullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/resource")
if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print responseText + "\n";
